jknightandkarr Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 I hope this is the correct area, but I am looking for sources of bulk component supplies. The only one's that I know of are Digikey, Mouser and Jameco, 2 of the 3 of them have what I need but WAAAAAY too much, plus I don't need 250 or 400 or esp 800 count orders...... I need Blue 0.4" AlphaNumeric leds SMD or PTH don't matter, white would also work by just using a blue filter. Is there other sources of components. Radio Shack isn't even an option. Another requirement IS however a reliable source of them. I need multiples of 10 singles or 5 doubles, just as long as I have 10 digits. What I really need is 0.4" Alphanumeric Vaccume Flor Disp, but those are waaaaaay LOOOONG gone. For what I am doing blue is pretty much needed, green, which seams to be the only one I can get singles of, isn't the right color, nor would show behind a blue filter anyhow. Any suggestions on suppliers or sources of the leds I need? Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryA Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Go directly to the source: http://www.ebay.com/itm/10pcs-0-8-inch-1-digit-led-display-17-seg-Alphanumeric-Common-anode-BLUE-/311641497467?hash=item488f47df7b:g:nBAAAOSwsB9V87Ec That is where they are all made anyway.

audioguru Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 A local trustworthy electronics parts distributor sells good reliable parts. Some are made in China. The reliable parts are not bought on ebay by the trustworthy distributor. There are entire Chinese cities that make only fake electronic parts or they are factory rejects that are sold on ebay.

HarryA Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Yes some people have problems with parts from China but I buy a lot for China. And I never have any problems. I have two items in the "China queue" now. I call it bypassing Wal-Mart and NTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguru Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 How do you know which ebay Chinese part is a fake and which one is real and good that will work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryA Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Good question. I test them with my 4 of 5 stars Chinese tester I never buy anything very expensive that I could not toss out. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M0UXHYY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryA Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Well already having ruined jknittandkarr's thread - sorry jknittandkarr. But another place to spent more money beyond amazon.com and ebay is at the goodwill: see "computers and electronics" off: https://www.shopgoodwill.com/listings/ Don't bid on the solar panel!
